History[edit]
There is evidence that a wooden chapel was on the site before federation[2] and a building on the site was officially licensed on 29th November 1901.
In May 1904 the parishioners bought an organ. This was replaced with an electric organ in 1971.
In 1926 the old building was replaced with the current brick building, which was dedicated 11 July 1926.
In 1961 Holy Trinity was made a provisional parish,[3] with the Curate in Charge a Rev. K Churchward and 1964 saw Completion of the church hall.
In 1971 Holy Trinity applied to the Synod to become a Parish and on 11 October 1971, the Parish Boundaries were adjusted slightly, and the church became one of eight parishes established that day.[4]
The large stain glass windows at the north end of the church were installed in 1980, and depicts the Last Supper as painted by Da Vinci.
The western half of the parish was carved off in the early 1980s to form St Andrews Crestwood.[3]
In 1994 a large fire broke out in the Church Hall which was gutted. The fire may have been deliberately lit.
In 1999 the church undertook an extension of the nave transept and construction of a sealed car park.
In 2020 Rev. Andrei Grassy set to construct two awnings around the church to utilize the outside portions of the church.
